Description:

The Summit is a free one day event for families in Virginia dealing with mental health and co-occurring challenges. The focus of the Summit is to promote parent and youth voice through knowledge, skills and networking. Our speakers and workshops are selected to maximize opportunities to gather resources on mental health, services and supports, latest trends and leadership development.

We have expanded our workshops and tracks this year in order to offer you the best possible learning experience. We are also excited to have Dr. Allison Sampson-Jackson as our keynote speaker! Known best for her work in Trauma Informed Care, Dr. Sampson-Jackson will be focusing on the other side of trauma, RESILIENCY, and its important role in overcoming adversity.
